>He "claims" the poems are "intentionally bad"

Anyone else have a really hard time believing this?

Writing and submitting 50+ poems, in a sort of Honor Levy parody voice. And also a whole novel, the SAB Marcy thing, which seems to have been in the same style.

It doesn't seem like the behavior of someone who is making some sort of political statement. It seems like he just wanted people to read his shitty poems?

Add to this that this guy seems to have published poems under his own name as recently as 2023. Which are indistinguishable from one of the ones the Daily Mail article has, meant to be one of the "intentionally bad" ones by the black tranny he has imagined

I also accidentally googled OP's link instead of going to the article, and the top result was a really similarly worded post in the "Red Scare Books" reddit.

So, realistically, Hi Aaron. Why are you pretending the poems are bad now, are you embarrassed by the poems, or spending years pretending to be a black troon to get them published, or both?

In the Red Scare Books reddit they are making the point that this would have been a good bit if he'd not targetted magazines which focus on publishing minorities. I am inclined to agree with them, it defeats the purpose.

If that was indeed the purpose going in, which it obviously wasn't. I'm not being salty about his "success", this is just pretty sad. Not sure why you would brag about it to a journalist

He definitely isn't lying about being white though, that is one of the pastiest people I have ever seen. Looks uncannilly like if F Gardner had brown hair. Go to (sun)bed, Aaron...
